A transportation system () for, and a method () of loading for transportation of, a segment () of a wind turbine tower are disclosed. The system has a transportation platform (), the transportation platform having a centreline (), and a segment support () mountable on the transportation platform. The segment support is configured to permit tilting of a supported segment with respect to a pivot point () of the support. The segment support is further configured to receive a segment such that the centre of gravity () of the segment is offset transversely from: the support pivot point; and from the transport platform centreline. The segment support is also configured to, having received the segment, permit tilting of the segment with respect to the support pivot point to a rest position, and in the rest position the centre of gravity of the segment is alignable vertically with the transport platform centreline.
